Esther Ogbonda
Esther Ogbonda is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and Washington, a National Certified Counselor, and a Board-Certified Christian Counselor. A former teacher in London, she has experience working with children, adolescents, and families. She provides therapy for individuals experiencing anxiety and depression. My path to becoming a mental health provider began in the classroom. As a teacher in inner and outer London, I worked with children, adolescents, and their families. Those experiences helped me appreciate the importance of emotional support in people’s lives. I later worked in psychiatric hospital settings and now provide counseling in private practice. These experiences have shaped my compassionate approach to supporting individuals experiencing anxiety and depression.
I started out as a Teacher in Inner and Outer London schools in the United Kingdom working with children, adolescents, and their families.
